How do I “delete” automatic login when I’m unable to ‘unlock’ the setting in “login Screen Setting’ window..Using 9.10 and Kubuntu ??? When I boot-up/startup I don’t get a “welcome screen” but go straight to the Ubuntu desktop. (I would like to be able to select which desktop I want

Thanks..

Thanks, that is useful tip for everyone trying to play a bit with Ubuntu, I think.

@kevin: can you say mere about the security concern? E.g., I am sole user of a home desktop system behind a broadband cable modem connection to internet, and an internal router / firewall. What is the vulnerability in this scenario? (This system stays on 24/7 anyway, and only gets rebooted very rarely so the login only arises infrequently. But I also have a laptop where this would actually be very handy from my point of view.)

I can’t believe what I’m reading here. NO! DON’T DO THIS! At least not with any computer that has a network connection. This makes your machine more vulnerable than a Windows machine.

I did exactly this to speed up boot time. It’s perfect for single user systems, although you lose the security. I may not do it in an office setting, but at home, it’s perfect solution. The only thing I miss is the latest and greatest cool login screens.

Claude: I agree. I only mentioned the root login because it is part of the tool. Maybe my warning should be stronger. I suppose I should have said:

Even though this configuration option is there you should not use it!
